Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Did you mean to use DATE_FORMAT rather than just FORMAT?

Also the format needs to be specified using % notation so the corrected version of your example would be

DATE_FORMAT(dCreatedDate, '%Y-%m-%d')

You can find a list of the specifiers you can use in the format string in the MySQL documentation on Date and Time Functions.

@mikej: The query actually resulted in fetching date in correct format these days i did the same work by exploding the datas in the view page and by displaying in some format

The w3school tutorial is a general SQL tutorial and is not specific to MySQL. In MySQL the function for formatting dates is `DATE_FORMAT`. MySQL does have a function called `FORMAT` but that is for [formatting numbers to a format like '#,###,###.##'](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/string-functions.html#function_format).

@mikej : i can can understand what you mean

From your second comment where you say it *actually resulted in fetching date in correct format these days* do you mean that you have fixed your problem now? If not, I think you might need to edit your question to clarify what it is you're asking. Attempting to use `FORMAT` with a 2nd parameter of `YYYY-MM-DD` will definitely result in `You have an error in your SQL syntax`.

@mike j : actually it results weong i tried what you said.....You are correct SELECT DATE_FORMAT(dCreatedDate, '%d-%M-%Y') as perdate FROM tbl_book_selfThis works perfect for me
